Mistakes
Oh, haven't we all
made a mistake
One choice, one error
young man's life they take
One path to glory
a path none will make
They are against you
way too dumb to fight
No childhood left, but
why stay up at night?
Scared to lose, scared of shame
Who is really to blame?
No choice left, free will gone
in the system, but a pawn
Oh, the past I would change
choice gone, I had a range
Life unfair, that don't change.
About this poem
Made when all the mistakes stacked up to affect my whole life.
